Proverbs 1:23-26 Good News Bible (GNB)

23. Listen when I reprimand you; I will give you good advice and share my knowledge with you.

24. I have been calling you, inviting you to come, but you would not listen. You paid no attention to me.

26. So when you get into trouble, I will laugh at you. I will mock you when terror strikes —
